The title of this post would be a more apt name for the nightly entertainment ITV are bringing to our screens. Aside from Joe Swash and Kilroy, I hadn't heard of any of the 'celebrities' that are currently strutting their stuff on 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here'. That's not to say that they are not entertaining, still I don't know their names so this entry may be slightly confusing. So the 'glamour model' (without meaning to sound bitchy I see far prettier women at university, this one has odd teeth and squinty eyes) constantly protests about her mascara, being able to sleep in the bed she slept in on the first night and her god given right to exist in the centre of the Australian jungle. 'The Wag' (Joe Coles girlfriend) very rarely says or does anything of any substance, 'The Posh One' is a bit weepy, 'The Boy Band Member' is quite attractive, ferocious and he can string a sentence together. Those are the ones that stand out in my mind. So last night two new comers arrived. They were stationed in cages-that had covers and beds-and were highly entertaining. One was named 'Timmy Mallett', and the other is who I like to call 'Mr Mid Life Crisis'. Now the original 'Celebs' were given the option of swapping their luxury items for these two newcomers, Joe Swash very fairly stated that he was not giving up a picture of a loved one for people who had spent their morning in a hotel with nice food whereas Miss Glamour whined about potentially losing some mascara...no mascara in the world could save those eyes. So as Miss Glamour stuck her teeth out to the camera and moaned about the cheek of asking her to trade in some slap for actual human beings, Miss Tennis Player (thats another one I have remembered) went to negotiate. She new offer was for them to trade two meals (they had 10, one for each 'celeb') for these two people. Now this time they sounded more reasonable when all said that the newcomers would have had a decent breakfast, where as they hadn't and so they managed to make themselves look a little more reasonable. That was until they began to talk of their plight as though they were as misfortunate as those that live in the third world, Kilroy leading the discussion. No wonder there are calls to dock his wages.
So the next day Timmy Mallet and Mid Life Crisis arrived at the camp, greeted by the resident friendly cockney-Joe Swash. Within minutes an argument errupted about beds. This argument was over whether the newcomers would sleep in a cave or out in the open where the original celebs had been sleeping. Now the cave didn't look that bad, it was dry, it had beds...decent shelter basically. Miss Glamour ranted and raved about how they had been there since the beginning and so they should be able to keep their beds, Timmy opted for the cave (displaying more intelligence than the rest of them put together) whilst Mid Life Crisis accused the original celebs of bullying. Now if they had all sat down and said 'You new comers have the cave, and we shall rotate from then on to make things fair' there would be no argument, but then that wouldn't make good TV would it? Eventually Mid Life Crisis said he was scared of the dark, posh lady gave him a cuddle, he opted for the cave and decided it wasn't that bad and all were happy.
The show ended with a very funny bush tucker trial where Kilroy ate rats and cuddled snakes (well kind of)...all in all, it may be trashy but its loveable! Unlike Big Brother, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is relatively funny and short enough for it to be thought of fondly.
